6.Close the V-belt cover and motor access panel.

Note: The correct tension for the V-belts is 1⁄4" deflection when pushed in the center with moder- ate pressure. After the first 16 hours of belt life, retension them, as they will stretch and seat dur- ing this time.

Gear Box: Gear box oil should be changed after the first 20 hours of operation (see Figure 24).

Replace with 80W-90W gear oil. Inspect levels periodically and change yearly. Replace gear oil more frequently under heavy use. Fill until oil reaches the top of the filler plug port for correct oil level.

Lubrication

The Model G1033X features factory-sealed bear- ings. A sealed bearing requires no lubrication during its lifetime. Should a bearing fail, your planer will probably develop a noticeable rumble/ vibration, which will increase when the machine is put under load. Bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced through Grizzly.

Proper lubrication of other planer components are essential for long life and trouble-free operation. Below is a list of components that require periodic lubrication. Schedules are based on daily use. Adjust accordingly for your level of use.

Always disconnect power to the machine before lubricating! Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Columns/Lead Screws: The four columns should be lubricated weekly with SAE 30W oil. Unfasten dust covers to gain access. The four lead screws should be lubricated with general purpose grease once a month.

Worm Gear: The worm gear should be inspected monthly and lubricated with general purpose grease when needed. Remove the worm gear box to inspect. See parts diagram for location.

Chain: The table height adjustment chain (see Figure 27 on Page 28) should be inspected monthly and lubricated with general purpose grease when needed.

Drive Chain: The drive chain should be inspected and lubricated monthly. Check sprocket, chain and cotter pin during inspection. Use a general purpose grease. Some chains will have master links instead of cotter pins.

Feed Rollers: Regular lubrication of feed rollers is crucial to the operation of your planer. Lubricate every 30 hours of use. Each end of each power feed roller has an oiling port located on the top of the head casting (Figure 25). Apply SAE 30W oil, making sure that the lubricant penetrates the bearing.
